About This Recipe

Looking for something easy and flavourful, that will add a twist to your Pizza, Bruschetta, Sandwich, Burger, or any other dish that needs a good base, then you must give this Red Onion Marmalade a try.

Sweet and sticky this marmalade, is similar to Onion Jam, where onions are caramelized and cooked along with Garlic, Brown Sugar, Apple Juice, Red Wine Vinegar, Salt, and Black Pepper.

Make sure that you cook the onions well, because if it is half cooked, then it will not give the same taste as the original marmalade. Keep the heat to medium while cooking the marmalade, as it helps the onions to cook evenly.

Stirring frequently will make sure that your onion doesn’t get burn and the marmalade comes out beautifully.

Ingredients

Red Onions – The key ingredient of this dish is Red Onion. They are thinly sliced and cooked along with other ingredients to make this simple marmalade which will add flavor to many recipes. Make sure to slice them evenly for the best result.

Other Ingredients – Other than this, you will need Unsalted Butter, Olive Oil, Garlic, Salt, Black Pepper, Red Chilli Flakes, Brown Sugar, Apple Juice and Red Wine Vinegar.

For a vegan version, skip the butter and use only olive oil. 

You can even use Balsamic Vinegar instead of Apple Juice and Red Wine vinegar and flavor it with some more spices like thyme.
